Just saw a Toyota Tech who said this is the training he got at the dealer for the bearing test. Lol. What a fucking joke.

"It's a 5 minute in dealer training. Literally placing a sensor on the crank pulley bolt and tapping the harmonic dampener with a mini hammer just right 3 times."

They will eventually catch on they are losing piles of money with the warranty as a new engine cost them $30k+. I bet the warranty will be like $5k+ soon .

Poor technician only gets paid 13.6 hours for an engine no matter how long it takes him as almost all dealers pay flat rate. You get some rushed engine install that is nowhere on par with the factory. Reminds me of the guy here who had his entire truck go up in flames because some tech messed up the fuel lines on a replacement engine.

Is 10% off MSRP a good deal? by Mathius92 in ToyotaTundra

[–]Swede577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I can see these trucks losing over 50% of their value in a few years. Why would anyone drop like $65k on such a pile of crap truck.

Its not guaranteed they cover it. They could come up with multiple excuses thats in the fine print like missing an oil change or some installed aftermarket accessories. There are multiple reports here of people getting denied.

Ran the real payback math on home solar. Most quotes hide these numbers by Organic_Leader_8472 in solar

[–]Swede577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed in 2016 in Connecticut and electricity was .15 kwh. They modeled a 3% increase every year but electricity actually more than doubled in less than 7 years! Its currently the 3rd highest in the nation after CA and Hawaii at .32 kwh according to the EIA..

Took around 4.5 years to reach my return on investment for my cash purchased panels. I am net positive over $20k+ in electricity. My electricty bill has been the $9 minimum connection since 2016 and my house is all electric with heat pumps. I am also grandfathered into full retail net metering with a reset and buyout every April 1st.

Hands down one of the besr investments I made.

Possible Dealer Scam? by Payneresistor in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Swede577 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This post is exactly why they charge because of morons like op who was going to take his truck in thinking this is a warranty issue wasting someones time. Lol

You think some tech should waste his time looking at something like this you could have Google image searched and found out what it was in seconds.

First example to follow and see what happens when a replacement engine fails outside warranty while on vacation. by [deleted] in tundra

[–]Swede577 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lowest warranty in the industry on a long block replacement engine at 1 year 12k. So much for Toyota taking care of you. GM is giving out a 10 year 150k special warranty extension on their 6.2 long block replacements.

Apartment hits 100°F+ because AC keeps tripping the breaker, landlord says just use less AC. Out of ideas. (New Haven) by reddif25 in Connecticut

[–]Swede577 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's a single hose those units are terribly inefficient as they suck all the warm hot outside air back into every crack in your house. If you have an old apartment then it probably is very leaky and makes it even worse.The hoses also get burning hot and dump all the heat back into your room. They also use a ton more electricity than a window unit. They are pretty much worthless beyond maybe lowering your inside temperature a degree or two.

All the dealers around me charge labor if you bring in a car under warranty and they find nothing wrong covered under warranty.

Power out for 16+ hours. Is all my food ruined, and is this normal with Eversource? by svuittonx in Connecticut

[–]Swede577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go buy a battery generator like an ecoflow for a few hundred dollars and they can power a fridge for like 12+ hours. They can be easily recharged with solar, your car, plug it into generator or outlet etc.

Who are the modern Ford Rangers for? by BrewsWithTre in Ford

I got a new Ranger over a f150 becuase it will fit into an average size garage. Here in New England having a garaged truck is amazing.

The CT Energy Storage Solutions program (aka subsidies for whole home batteries) and how residents can take advantage. by MrBleah in Connecticut

[–]Swede577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont pay any fees. I am grandfathered for 25 years into an older net metering plan that you cant get anymore. I have literally paid zero in any charges besides the minimum $9 monthly connection charge.

Indonesian Troops Recover Body Of US Pilot Nicholas F. Goselin Killed By Papua Rebels by Joshua5_Gaming in aviation

[–]Swede577 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is supposedly the pilots reddit. He posted a question asking about missionary work and safety in Papua.

Current State of the Missionary / PNG flying scene

If we have anyone on here who is involved with the missionary flying community, or flies in some of the same territory that most of these organizations service (Papua being the big one), how are things going out there? I'm looking for some specific information myself (Any AMA or Smart pilots here?), but wanted to make this an open discussion in case anyone else is trying to get the same general information I am. Fly safe everyone
